There was a real buzz around the school today as we all celebrated the diverse array of languages and cultures within Europe, from Croatia to The Netherlands.
Our day started with a whole school assembly in our main hall where we enjoyed finding out about this special day and sang He's got the whole world in His hands' - thinking about the words of this hymn and their meaning. Our prayer was in Spanish and English and two of our younger Worship Team members lead the prayers. Thank you to them and for being very confident in front of the whole school. We also thought about our value this half term which is 'Friendship ' and considered friendship with our European neighbours and globally. The children were asked to think about the story of The Good Samaritan and why it has a special meaning for Christians. Thank you to the children who came to tell their teachers about what its meaning is and why it is important. Thank you also to the Class Ambassadors who shared which country(ies) their classes would be learning about.
Well done to all our children (from the Nursery to Year 6) for embracing the day so positively and challenging themselves to learn words and phrases, preparing and tasting different types of food, being creative, using maps, answering quiz questions,
researching, singing and engaging with all their learning. It was very positive to be able to welcome our visitors who were native speakers from a European country and thank you to them for their support.
Overall, we had a fun and really interesting day.
